Education is at the heart of HAF’s mission to cultivate a resilient, food-secure Hawai‘i. By bringing agriculture into classrooms and creating hands-on learning experiences, HAF empowers students and teachers to see the connections between the land, the food we eat, and the careers that sustain our islands. From farm excursions and interactive workshops to innovative curriculum and entrepreneurial opportunities, our programs spark curiosity, build skills, and inspire the next generation of agricultural leaders.
The Hawai‘i Agricultural Foundation invites K–12 students statewide to participate in the 2026 Localicious® Art & Recipe Contest. Presented by Hawai‘i Gas, it’s a creative opportunity to reimagine school lunch while celebrating Hawai‘i’s local food system. Get all the exciting details here.
Teacher workshops are offered in partnership with the Hawai‘i State Department of Education (HIDOE) and are free for HIDOE members. Registration is required through Learnsoft (via the HIDOE dashboard). Unless otherwise noted, Learnsoft Learning Object ID and Instance details will be provided soon. Space is limited. Attending teachers receive the Where Would We Be Without Seeds curriculum along with classroom supplies. Those who implement the program with students are also eligible for a HAF-sponsored field trip to a local agricultural site.
